QUANTUM computing for the masses could come a step closer if tests prove successful on a prototype chip designed to process more quantum data than any previous device.
Quantum computers have the potential to be vastly more powerful than conventional machines because they exploit the rules of quantum mechanics to perform many calculations in parallel. They are difficult to build, however, because quantum information is easily destroyed. The most powerful machines to date can cope with only a handful of quantum bits, or qubits, making them little more capable than a hand-held calculator.
In contrast, the prototype chip built by D-Wave Systems in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, is designed to handle 128 qubits of information.
The solo developer known as Dizzie hopes to push a new update in between six to 12 months.
At Capcom, Hiroyuki Kobayashi helped build franchises like Dino Crisis and Devil May Cry, as well as original games such as P.N.03 and Killer7. Now, more than 25 years after his first credited game (as a programmer on Resident Evil 1), the producer is relishing the challenge of creating an original IP once again.
The spin-off of Legend of Keepers takes a similar concept in a new direction.
So this is the chip that uses the superposition theory, one transitors does 50 cycle simultaneously? I would imagine you would need a very cold environment to detect such minute differences.
.01degree above absolute zero
cold enough for you?
still q computers are years rom being pratical
I'm more impressed by the fact that some readers of N4G know about quantum computing.
I know I don't! :)

LOL @ this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Another cool thing about the quantum level is "Quantum Entanglement"
